Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected Outcome 1. The FITXR application underestimate energy expenditure.;Outcome found 1: It was observed that the FITXR application underestimates energy expenditure;Outcome found 2: A greater affective response was found in the exercise in virtual reality when compared to the conventional exercise.;Expected outcome 2. Virtual reality promotes a more positive affective response than a session of traditional exercise.;Expected outcome 3: It is expected to find an increase in heart rate in virtual reality exercise compared to traditional exercise.;Outcome found 3: The heart rate during exercise in virtual reality was higher compared to conventional exercise.
